Drew Brees down...

[Talib Scottie]

let's see how my boy Philip steps up to the plate...

[Talib Scottie]

haha not so good so far, his best play on the first drive was a block.

[Thomas Sway]

I just got up. Is Brees hurt?

Fuck. I loved thsi team this year. Why the hell did everything have to go so god damn terribly wrong.

He got caught under a pile and got his arm caught behind him or something, it didnt appear to be serious though.

They just had their first TD drive though under Rivers, 3/6 39yards, and he threw a block on a linebacker to get LT more yards.

[Thomas Sway]

Maybe this'll be a kinda good thing. Brees has been forcing it for the last month. Remember last week? He fucking blew it.

[Thomas Sway]

I love him, and I really hope to see him just kick some serious ass next year, but he's definitely falling apart a bit as of late.

I would too though. I mean to pressure of being on such a good team, and losing games by like..2 points to easy teams and not making the playoffs...must suck.

Yeah, they came up just short quite a bit this year, they're my favorite AFC team.

[Thomas Sway]

Me too. I'm not a big fan of most the AFC teams. I like the chargers the most, i've always been a pretty big bengals fan. I like Buffalo too, and certain players on the steelers though i usually don't root for them.

I don't know, most of my favorite teams are in the nfc, and they are all horrible this year. lol.

[Thomas Sway]

my #1 is the bears though.

[Talib Scottie]

Panthers, Cowboys, Packers for me. It's been a very up and down year

[btbam > you]

rivers has not looked very solid as of yet. he looks pretty confused out there on the field.

He's looking better and better each snap though

[btbam > you]

true, that one pass before the touchdown (i think it was the play right before) where he kinda just jumped in the air and threw it completely across the field was just god-awful.

haha that last one was awful too, but the pass running to his left was sweet

[Emopunkthrice]

[Talib Scottie]

Hahaha, what?

cool dude.

[Thomas Sway]

who is playing later tonight? is it the giants game?

[Thomas Sway]

ok i just turned the sound on the tv on. Where is Plummer? Are they resting him or did he get hurt?

[LeftWideOpen]

who is playing later tonight? is it the giants game?

yeah new york and oakland. new york is playing for the nfc east title, oakland is playing to keep norv turner fired.

and denver is resting plummer. he played for a little bit.

[Thomas Sway]

I want to see the GMen kill on this. I like them, but they need all the advantages they can get in the playoffs.

i'd like to see the giants win and take the #3 seed. A NYG-Chicago divisional matchup would be fun to watch. I'm willing to bet Eli gets eaten alive in that game.

no joke. i'd still like to see them in the playoffs though.

[mikeford]

i dont understand why rivers wasnt starting today anyway...

[btbam > you]

i dont understand why rivers wasnt starting today anyway...


after watching him play right now, i know why he wasn't starting.

[Emopunkthrice]

yeah I'm nodding my head, saying thank god fantasy football ended for me last week.

[Thomas Sway]

I really am mad I didnt' get in on fantasy ball this year. I didn't have the internet.


Where do you do fantasy at?

[LeftWideOpen]

yahoo is really good for free leagues.

[Talib Scottie]

Yeah, he didn't look fantastic

[Thomas Sway]

yahoo eh?

I saw espn.com has leagues. are those any good or do they cost money?

[Thomas Sway]

Do you think they should stick with brees, or start working on rivers a their franchise qb?

[Talib Scottie]

Brees, he's playing well, he's still pretty young.

Philip hasn't proved anything yet, and today he's struggling with the things he was best at in college, reads, accuracy, and holding onto the ball. Maybe he's just nervous? I still think Philip will be at least a solid QB when he gains experience

[LeftWideOpen]

its a tough decision. i don't think they should base much on today's game because its river's 1st action. i'm convinced that they are only going to go so far with brees at QB because he tends to make big mistakes. He plays great one week and then throws the game away the next. With that said, he's young. He isnt as young as Rivers but he hasnt hit his peak yet.

To me, Rivers can be a stud if a team dedicates themselves to him. I think SD has totally fucked this whole situation up, and a lot of that has to do with Brees emergence. If you can get a 1st rounder (unlikely) or a impact player at a position of need I'd trade him. Otherwise, I might develop Rivers. He's got the potential.

they could probably get some good trades for him though. There are a few teams in the NFL that really could use new qbs.

I feel so upset about my whole lions situation. like...what the fuck are we going to do? lol.

Haha, I really like Oregon and I had high hopes for Joey, but in my gut I felt he wasn't going to be up to par.

Me too. I really wanted to see him tear it up, but he's just done horribly.

Doesn't help that he's been on a bad team though. It's hard to develop when you're getting your ass handed to you. That's why guys like Carr on Houston impress me quite a bit. I like that kid.

[still_life]

Brees was awful again today. Rivers didn't do too bad considering it was the first major action of his NFL career.
